 Error message is: PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Object of class
 WP_Comment could not be converted to string in /var/web/site/public_html
 /wp-includes/comment-template.php:27

 The problem appears to be that in some cases, code in comment-template.php
 is calling get_comment_author() in comment-template.php which expects an
 optional parameter that is used as the comment_ID but is being passed a
 WP_Comment object instead at times.  Discovered the issue when trying to
 edit a Divi template and the builder hung, and found the errors in the
 log.  I do have a proposed patch attached.
